the boys woke me up this morning with huge smiles, I love you's & Zacky sung happy birthday to mom...LOL...yes it was so sweet. I got a few crafty presents from my favorite store...dollarama...handpicked by my boys :) and zack brought home a pink spoon dipped in chocolate & the cutest bookmark with a picture of him, a signature & an awesomely colored MOTHER on the front :) Nick brought me a sweet jewlery box he painted and a very elegant beaded bracelet he strung himself...I am wearing it until it falls off :) I LOVE it but more importantly I loved there obvious joy in giving me the gifts...their pride was evident...their love too...so perfect!!!we were up extremely early to have breakfast with my mom & sisters before our married lives take over for the day. It was so nice to hug all my sisters, to visit with them over breakfast & just enjoy their company :) Then we went to my motherinlaws and it was our first sunny, nice day...the kids went off to play with Brooke, my inlaws neighbors 12 year old, she loves the boys and is a goddess in their eyes...so while they played, the adults had champaine & OJ in the front yard in THE fanciest longstem glasses...OMG it was just fantastic...I felt like a princess & we just had so much fun. An unplanned day can just be THE best day ever. Doug had planned to go in the garage & work but my sister came by...we went shoppin...then my inlaws neighbors came over to ensure we came back to my inlaws for a BBQ. So after my sister & I got home, the boys & I picked up steaks & garlic bread & headed over for a huge BBQ. It was just awesome to spend time visitin & laughin & havin an awesome time :) All my boys, Doug included, are asleep now, it's like 8pm lol...too funny...but I could not be more proud of them...or love them more :)happy mom's day ladies...we all know we deserve it...hope you too had a killer day

About Me

Hey there, well simply I am a mom of two fab boys, wife to my forever soulmate, nurse to make some cash and in my spare time I love to scrapbook our life, garden & go to the cottage. I am not real computer savvy...but hey a girl can try!
I was introduced to scrappin (creative memories) about 5 years ago but really did not get that hooked. Then I discovered Stampin Up and not only started making cards but scrappin way more! So it has been about 3 years of serious scrappin, with several complete albums too heavy to lift and I LOVE it even more. I suck at scraplifting and have been told I kinda have my own style :) not sure if that is good or not...LOL...I scrap for me & mine, so that's ok.
Thanks for visiting my blog...come on back, drop me a note & let me know you visited, I'd love that. Take care
